When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.

Fiserv Stock Gets Pummeled After Earnings
Fiserv, Inc. (FI) stock has declined by over 13% in the last week since its Q2 earnings were released. But was it really all that bad? After all, it generated strong earnings and free cash flow. FI stock looks cheap here. Short OTM puts for a lower buy-in. FI is at $142.50, down from $165.98 on July 22, just before its July 23 Q2 earnings release. This is well below its $237.79 peak on March 3. More News from Barchart Option Volatility And Earnings Report For July 28 – Aug 1 Should You Grab This 'Strong Buy' Semiconductor Stock Ahead of Earnings? 1 Options Trade You Can Use to Protect Historic Gains in Red-Hot Palantir Stock Get exclusive insights with the FREE Barchart Brief newsletter. Subscribe now for quick, incisive midday market analysis you won't find anywhere else. Based on its historical averages and free cash flow, FI stock could be worth at least 28% more at $182.00 per share. Moreover, one way to set a lower buy-in is to short out-of-the-money (OTM) put options. This article will delve into that. Good Earnings and Free Cash Flow (FCF) Fiserv, the payments and financial security solutions company, said its Q2 adjusted revenue was up 8% YoY, and adjusted earnings per share (EPS) rose 16%. This included an increase in its adjusted operating margin for the first half to almost 40% (39.6%). Moreover, its Q2 free cash flow (FCF) was up substantially to almost $1.2 billion, or 21.5% of sales. In the trailing 12 months (TTM) period, it has generated $5.157 billion in FCF according to Stock Analysis, although Fiserv says on page 3 and page 8 of its deck that it was $5.299 billion. That works out to a 24.4% FCF margin using the Stock Analysis figures and 25.1% using Fiserv's TTM number. We can use that to estimate its FCF in the next 12 months (NTM). Projecting FCF for Fiserv Management said its estimate is $5.5 billion in FCF for 2025. Let's look at that. Right now, analysts are projecting $20.78 billion in revenue for 2025. So, using a 25% FCF margin: $20.78 billion x 0.25 = $5.195 billion FCF However, next year, analysts foresee revenue of $22.46 billion. Using a 25% FCF margin, FCF could hit $5.615 billion. That means FCF could range between $5.2 and $5.6 billion over the next 12 months, using a 25% FCF margin. So, management's estimate of $5.5 billion for 2025 could imply its FCF margin will rise. However, if Fiserv hits $5.5 billion this year and $5.6 billion next year, it's likely the FI stock could rise. FCF-Based Target Price For FI Stock Fiserv does not pay a dividend. Let's assume it paid out 100% of its free cash flow. What would the dividend yield be? One way to estimate this is to use its historical FCF yield. For example, given its market cap today of $77.89 billion, according to Yahoo! Finance, and using its TTM FCF: $5.299 billion TTM FCF / $77.89 billion mkt cap = 0.0.68 = 6.8% FCF yield So, let's assume that the market would improve this yield slightly to 6.60% (i.e., its potential dividend yield assuming a 100% FCF payout). That would happen if its next 2025 FCF hits $5.5 billion, as management projects (due to its buybacks and improved outlook): $5.5 billion FCF est. for 2025 / 0.066 = $83.33 billion mkt cap That implies the market value of FI stock could rise by +7.0% over its $77.89 billion market cap. Moreover, next year, if the FCF hits $5.615 billion (see above) and the FCF yield (i.e., a potential dividend yield) improves to 6.50%: $5.615 FCF 2026 est. / 0.065 = $86.39 billion mtk cap, or +9.5% So, over the next 12 months (NTM) the price target is between +7.0% and +9.5%, or +8.25%. That puts the price target at $154.49: $142.72 x 1.0825 = $154.49 However, that is not the only way to forecast a price target for FI stock. Let's also look at its historical price/earnings multiples. P/E Based Price Target For example, Morningstar reports that the average forward price/earnings (P/E) multiple over the last 5 years has been 17.1x. Seeking Alpha's analysis says it's been 18.71x. Now, management at Fiserv has already projected that its 2025 earnings per share (EPS) will be between $10.15 EPS and $10.30, or a growth of +15% to $17% over 2024. So, using a midpoint EPS of $10.23 and a forward P/E of 17.9 (the average of the two surveys): $10.23 EPS x 17.91 = $183.12 target price That is +28.3% over today's price. Moreover, next year analysts are projecting EPS of $11.82 according to Seeking Alpha. So, that results in a projected price target of $211.58, or +48% upside from here. The bottom line is that FI stock looks very cheap using its historical P/E metrics. Analysts Agree FI Looks Undervalued Yahoo! Finance's survey of 34 analysts shows an average price target of $187.00, and Barchart's mean survey price is even higher at $206.38. That coincides with AnaChart's price target of $226.04 and Stock Analysis's average of $214.12 from 26 analysts. So, the average survey price target from analysts is $208.39, or +46% upside from today. Summary of Price Targets Using these three methods, you can see that FI stock looks deeply undervalued: FCF-Based Target ………. $154.49 P/E-Based Target ………… $183.12 Analysts' Targets …………. $208.39 Average Price Target ……. $182.00, or +27.7% over $142.50 today. But, for some reason, the stock is falling, and it might make sense to set a lower buy-in target. This can be done by selling short out-of-the-money (OTM) put options. That way, an investor can get paid while waiting to potentially acquire shares. Shorting OTM Puts For example, the $135 strike price put option for the Aug. 29 expiration period has a midpoint premium of $1.60 per put contract. This strike price is over 5% lower than today's price (i.e., is out-of-the-money) for the next 32 days. That provides an investor who does an order to 'Sell to Open' an immediate yield of 1.18% (i.e., $1.60/$135.00). That means that even if FI stock falls to $135 on or before Aug. 29, the investor's breakeven point is $135-$1.60, or $133.40. That's -5.39% below today's price and provides good downside protection. Note that the risk seems low that the stock will fall this much, as the delta ratio is only 20.66%. Moreover, the potential upside is attractive: $182.00 target / $133.40 breakeven = 1.364 = +36.4% upside And think about this. If the investor can repeat this play over the next 3 months, the expected return (ER) is 3.50%. That is even if FI stock stays flat or falls less than 5.39% to the breakeven point. The bottom line here is that Fiserv stock looks very cheap. One way to play this and to set a lower buy-in point is to short OTM puts in nearby expiry periods. On the date of publication, Mark R.

Corporate America is on edge and hiring armed guards after the NYC office shooting
Corporate America is on guard. A deadly shooting at a New York City office tower on Monday has companies and executives boosting security across Wall Street and corporate America. Firms are scrambling to hire armed guards, conduct risk assessments, review security protocols, and reassure employees that they're safe, security experts said on Tuesday. "The phone hasn't stopped since this morning," Sean Crowley, the cofounder and CEO of CTS Research and Investigations, told Business Insider. CTS, based in NYC, is a partner and co-owner of Illuno, an app — "Like Uber for hiring security guards," Crowley calls it — that makes it easy to hire law enforcement for security jobs. Most of the calls, Crowley said, are coming from commercial and office property managers in Manhattan and downtown Brooklyn who want to bring in armed security guards, clad in suits and ties, to post in their lobbies. "This will more than double our workload," said Crowley, a former NYPD captain and commander of the Manhattan District Attorney's Office detective squad. Corporate leaders are on edge after the second deadly shooting involving business executives in six months. Monday's attack, which played out at the New York City headquarters of the private equity firm Blackstone, left five dead, including real estate executive Wesley LePatner and the gunman. Monday's shooting followed the assassination of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in December. Companies are now rushing to reassure staff and bolster security as haunting images—like barricaded office doors—underscore growing fears that working for corporate America is no longer safe. Don Aviv, president of Interfor International, a security firm that works with asset managers, told BI on Tuesday that roughly 80% of his firm's clients had "retained additional security for their lobbies and foyers," with some hiking protective services through next week. "The issue with our society is that we're reactionary and not proactive," Aviv said. Heightened security comes at a cost Banks like Goldman Sachs and Citi sought to assuage employees about workplace security on Tuesday. Goldman Sachs "has robust protocols in place to keep our people safe every day, and is proactively assessing and monitoring the safety of the firm's global campuses to protect our people and facilities around the clock," Goldman said in a memo authorised by Jacqueline Arthur, head of human capital management and corporate and workplace solutions. "This includes our dedicated team of NYPD officers and security guards at the entrance of and within our buildings, who are trained to carefully manage entry to our offices and respond to any potential incident," Arthur said, adding that Goldman "is constantly assessing" its security protocols. Citi told New York-based employees on Tuesday that the firm had "increased the security presence and capabilities at our headquarters" within the past year. "This includes working closely with the NYPD," he said. "While we feel confident with the protocols we have in place, we will not hesitate to adjust if necessary," said the memo by Ed Skyler, Citi's head of enterprise services and public affairs. For companies seeking to boost security, the extra layer of protection won't come cheap. Two security executives in New York City say posting an armed former or off-duty police officer in your lobby will cost building managers $75 to $200 an hour or more. Hiring an armed escort to protect a CEO or other prominent person will cost in the $135 to $200 range per hour. For now, it's not prohibiting demand. Herman Weisberg said his security company usually hires about 15 armed former military and NYPD officers to protect CEOs and other high-profile individuals in New York and Washington, DC. On Tuesday, that number was up to 30 — and the managing director of SAGE Intelligence thinks it will grow further. Weisberg, a former NYPD detective, said he is also seeing an increase in requests for "threat assessments," including risks tied to former disgruntled ex-employees. "One firm," he said, "wants us to work with their customer service department on analyzing current people who are complaining 'outside the norm.'" He pointed to the back-to-back tragedies of the fatal shooting of UnitedHealthcare's CEO, followed by Monday's attack. "When this stuff happens more than once, I think anybody with controversial or, at this point, even non-controversial businesses are starting to look at security and take it a little bit more seriously."
